Need help with SwingUtilities & JComponent - Psycho_Coder - 07-29-2013
Hello HC,
I need some help understanding the concepts of SwingUtilities or JComponent. I am having trouble finding application or how to use them.
Have a look here :-
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/SwingUtilities.html#calculateInnerArea%28javax.swing.JComponent,%20java.awt.Rectangle%29
there are so many functions I am unable to understand how can I use them in my Swing Apps or in Applets using JApplet.
Also what is the utilities of the Component or JComponent class, I mean to say how to use them and in what manner. I want to know these core components of Java and I am having trouble. It will be very good if I can get some applications or codes that clears my concepts about these. Also, I have already read about these in documentation but I didn't understood well.
Any help would be great!
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Psycho_Coder

JComponent: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/jcomponent.html
Actually there is not much to know about these.
Most used method of SwingUtilities is invokeLater() or invokeAndWait(). You can read about these here: http://javarevisited.blogspot.de/2011/09/invokeandwait-invokelater-swing-example.html
Other than that it is just a Utility class, meaning a collection of useful methods for various problems that don't fit anywhere else. Except for the two methods above I rarely needed them, though.
JComponent is an Interface that is implemented by all Swing components. Not more not less.

I have read the part from the tutorial already. The second link looks very good. Thank you for that. I will read them now.
